Well the 30th of April will always be a national holiday here :p But yeah, better luck next time I guess.

The thing about a low benchmark is that there isn't much required to surpass it next year :)

So long as you don't throw them at people like Kyle Gas did in Year One :P

Looks like there might be a little bit of competition. Someone submitted something to me last night, but I don't think I like it that much. Someone has been contacting me about it for awhile and the ideas he's throwing off of me are decent. Just depends on who can produce the best series the fastest I guess. I would like to start in about a week though.

I'm still working on it. I've got a few puzzles worked out and even a little bit of a script worked out, but I want it to be right before I pass it over as a first draft.

It's too soon to pre-order the album. I'm waiting incase there's any special edition releases which I may as well get my hands on.

Fair enough - I just want to get my hands on the material :P

I'm sure Death would keep his responsibilities for keeping the scythe clean so give it a clean when you're about to reach the next level for me.

Death would, but then again, I'm not. I'm just a psychopath after £300 and a copy of Girly World that is lying at the bottom of the stairs in a world of pain and broken stilts.

Nope, you are assigned to take Death's job so you've got to clean the scythe when you're done. :P

But murder isn't part of Death's job description - I do that for free and "on the side", so to speak.

Sorry we ran out of space a long time ago. Most of the land that isn't in use is either: privately owned, mountain ranges, desert areas, or bombing ranges i.e. Nevada.

Or Utah.

There is no telling what will have to do to increase food production in the near future. To be honest I don't see how China or India can feed there ungodly populations each day.

With difficulty - most Chinese people live in abject poverty, in order that the people in Beijing and Shanghai can live in luxury.

They seem random enough but when it's not about numbers, you'll know if it's random or not.

I'll think of something eventually.

I wonder what that may be.

Hmm, nothing for the time being. In the meantine, enjoy the new Rhapsody album if you get your hands on it.

What statement again?

That I'd rather listen to Manowar than playing any of the "Action 52"-games.

Oh yes. I'm sure any sane person would choose Manowar over Action 52.

We all do Coop but what if they made a special edition that included bonus tracks? I'm a sucker for extra features so I always make sure they make a special edition for the day of release before pre-ordering it. I did that for the last two Dream Theater albums and it was definitely worth it for the latest album which contained TWO bonus discs!

Nah, they aren't random (5, 5*2-1=9, 9*2-2=16, etc.).
Anyway, if a character appears more than once, it can still be random.

there were 12 (or more) pages of abusive reviews on just one user account, I reported all of them, a mod didn't know how to handle the situation so he punished whoever reported the reviews...

I hardly think that it was a moderator not knowing how to handle the situation - we do pride ourselves on being able to do a good job. As we all know, Rage's Gift was locked due to the stat whore nature of the flaggers. They all just clicked reviews as abusive, without actually reading through them and checking to see if they broke the rules. Perhaps you did the same in some circumstances?

I fell into a deep hole, I thought I was doomed to have a garbage whistle forever....

Garbage is never permanent. If you work at it, you can repair it and then polish it up, as you ahve proven.

Perhaps it's worth a thread in the Wi/Ht and Art Forums, to draw attention to it? If you're into art reviewing, let me know, that sort of thing. Do they have a lounge thread in Art? Perhaps there, then make a proto list for the art reviewers, which I can lock as soon as you're ready for the proper thing.

As a matter of fact, they have. The 1995 re-releases had B-side bonus tracks. However, you can find them all on Best of the B-Sides...Which is quite rare. Still, they could do something special for the next album seeing it's their 15th album and named The Final Frontier.

I think I'm doing pretty good. It's a little mundane picking art and searching each reviewer, but I've gotten it down to a science. Not to mention after I posted yesterday, I tried using Yahoo and Google to find even more users and it worked pretty well.

I know you enjoy using your shiny Lock button, but I'll just post my full list in a newspost so you or anyone else can look over it to see if the data looks alright before it's moved onto the Wi/Ht (which is months in the future). Not to mention it's easier to edit there than on the forums. :)

Since the numbers on the list are still so small, you might be able to search downwards for all the numbers and find people that way (if you weren't doing that already).
